How can I customize logging output in NLog?

You can customize logging output in NLog by modifying the configuration file, typically NLog.config, to define targets and layouts.

What are targets and layouts in NLog?

Targets are where the log messages are sent, like files or databases, while layouts define the format of the log messages.

Can you give me an example of a custom layout?

Sure! A simple custom layout could be: <layout>${longdate}|${level:uppercase=true}|${message}</layout> which formats the log with date, level, and message.

How do I apply this layout to a file target?

You would define a file target in your NLog.config like this: <target name="file" xsi:type="File" fileName="log.txt"><layout>${longdate}|${level:uppercase=true}|${message}</layout></target>.
